Jordan Hamilton has signed with Tofas Bursa in Turkey.

Hamilton got some run with the the Pelicans late last season after their roster was decimated by injuries, but he's going to have to prove capable of doing something other than scoring if he wants to stick in the NBA. Mon, Jul 25, 2016 09:56:00 AM

Jordan Hamilton had eight points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes off the Pelicans bench on Tuesday.

He's been getting some minutes and will be with the Pelicans for the remainder of the season, but unless he's starting for the Pelicans, he probably shouldn't be starting for your fantasy team. Tue, Apr 5, 2016 09:48:00 PM

Jordan Hamilton will come off the bench on Tuesday vs. the 76ers.

The Pelicans will roll with a starting backcourt of Tim Frazier and Toney Douglas. This is the 39th different lineup for the Pelicans this season, so this obviously may not be a permanent move. Hamilton is still worth owning in standard leagues for now and should get plenty of minutes off the bench. Tue, Apr 5, 2016 06:59:00 PM

He's been effective in the starting lineup with a double-double on Sunday. Hamilton should be able to log minutes in the 28-32 range going forward. He's worth owning in standard leagues. Mon, Apr 4, 2016 03:27:00 PM

Frank Jackson (foot) underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot.

He is expected to miss 3-4 months for his second surgery on his right foot since May. There are not many details on his previous stress fracture, but a fifth metatarsal is a common bone in the foot to have problems -- the famous Jones fracture is to that bone. Expect the Pelicans to be very careful with the No. 31 pick.

Tony Allen has been diagnosed with a non-displaced left proximal fibula fracture and is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks of action.

Allen isn't a huge part of the rotation in New Orleans, so there won't be a large impact in fantasy hoops with him out. Darius Miller and Dante Cunningham will likely pick up most of his minutes, but neither of those guys are worth owning in most leagues.

Solomon Hill (torn hamstring) could be back on the court as soon as February according to Pelicans GM Dell Demps.

Hill wasn't a fantasy target before the injury, so he's safe to cross off draft boards since we won't see him until the All-Star break at the earliest. In Hill's absence, the Pelicans will likely use a committee to soak up his minutes that could include E'Twaun Moore, Tony Allen, Darius Miller and Jordan Crawford.

Anthony Davis (left adductor) is "expected to play" vs. the Bucks on Wednesday.

Davis said after shootaround that he "should be able to go," and that was confirmed by the Pelicans' official twitter feed. We'll update his status once lineups are announced, but it should be safe to activate him in all season-long leagues.

Alexis Ajinca had surgery on his right patellar tendon on Wednesday and is expected to miss 4-6 months.

Ajinca had bilateral knee injections on Oct. 20 with an initial timetable of 4-6 weeks, but obviously that wasn't enough to correct the issue. Hopefully the veteran center can get healthy and back on the court next season. The Pelicans owe him a guaranteed $5.3 million in the final year of his contract in 2018-19.
